Just reading a post on a another thread about the Uk running out of food.
What would anybody suggest to stockpile from supermarkets as a cheap filling food that may last for years?

I got some tins of beans from sainsburys so far as they only 20p a tin but they only got 200 calories in each and they high in glucose fructose syrup.
Was thinking things like corned beef? Not sure really

Re: Cheap food to stockpile

Dont forget if you are going to stockpile food,you will need something to cook it onin case electricity/gas supplies are ever cut,get yourself a small camping stove with spare gas canisters.

You could try stocking up on Pasta,rice,dried milk ect dried foods,anything with a long life,if you store Pasta/Rice you need to store in an airtight container,if you are gonna start storing food dont forget to rotate it depending on sell by date,and if you use it then replace what you use,with fresh items,also look for water because you never know the water might be also cut off,try and get water in glass bottles also,as I dont think its safe to keep long term in plastic bottles.

If you look around the net you will find lots of sites offering advice on what and how to store food for emergencies /food shortages,most are US sites as they look ahead for things like food shortages,which are bound to happen here at some time soon,and if we do get food shortages here you will not get a look in with all the savage invaders fighting to be supplied first

And if the worst comes to worst we will all head for Raffles celler ,which I feel is fully equiped for even the worst disaster,and He must have liquid beverages stored I am sure haha

Water purifcation tablets are available from chemists and anywhere selling home-brew equipment.
The means to boil water would be of paramount importance.

Home security would also become an even higher priority in such circumstances.
People would soon have to learn to defend what is theirs.

Sugar has a very long shelf-life and can be added to to anything if calories become a consideration.
